Ok, How,s this for an idiom...? Touched by an angel (looking death in the face)

Linda Joy

How about "Keep your eye on the ball" or "You're really on the ball today!" I just remembered my ex saying he was amused when a polish guy he was working with got the idioms "That really gets under my skin" mixed up with "That really gets my goat" and ended up saying "That really gets under my goat!" lol

I'm sure I have. But I've also learned idioms are one of the hardest parts about learning English, so I keep that in mind as well when talking to someone. I found it interesting to learn that different languages also have different idioms. For example "getting caught red handed" in English means the same as "getting caught with your hands in the dough" in Spanish.
